Hi and thanks for the views on this aspect of dealing with cancer. I think it has actually been the hardest part so far to deal with for me. My work has been in management - I solve problems, and direct a crew of 30 people to achieve a desired result consistently and regaurdless of the obstacles that would derail that. To a certain degree - those skills have helped me push for more info and paths to overcoming. The flip side - I didn't let it get personal with my work and I tried to not let it get personal with being cancer. When it did hit me as personal, my normal coping skills failed. Those around me didn't quite know how to handle that. The sharing is helping me get a better approach ...
My objective is clear however the path to it is not yetfully revealed
Hows that for "hmmm..what now" lol
I still have my faith and I am secure in that. I am still mostly optemistic, I just get a little tired at times. I am still ME - just a little distressed at the moment. This too shall pass...It is what is is and I WILL get thru it...Thank you for helping. Your willingness to be honest and vulnerable to help someone you haven't met is an amazing gift. Holly
PSWemeet with the surgeon next Thursday late in the day, I got my fingers crossed the 2nd TUR and biopsies are good and that the neobladder will be a go .
